Atiku vs Buhari: Tribunal Set To Deliver Final Judgement On Wednesday 11th Of September

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has fixed Wednesday for delivery of its judgment in the petition filed by candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, against the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The five man panel headed by Justice Mohammed Garba had on August 21 reserved judgment in the petition to a date that would be communicated to parties shortly after all lawyers in the petition adopted and argued their final written addresses.

Information reaching our table revealed that the tribunal has fixed Wednesday (tomorrow) for judgment barely five days to the expiration of the life of the suit.

One of the government’s counsel in the matter, who craved anonymity, confirmed that the tribunal communicated the date for judgment to parties on Tuesday.

The judgment if delivered tomorrow falls within the 180 days provided by law for the determination of electoral matters.
